If 2 or more townships have the same name but are in different counties, they should both have the county appended to the name. e.g. Concord, Delaware & Concord, Erie
If there is a combination of the above 2 rules occurs, the naming should use both standards. example: Union Twp, Franklin; Union, Franklin; Union, Snyder.
